Before a parishioner renders himself liable to be sued in an Ecclesiastical Court, by objecting to the validity of the rate, he should be careful to take good advice, and to secure the co-operation and pecuniary assistance of his fellow-pa rishioners, as proceedings in that Court arc oppressive and ruinously expensive. In some cases, the Ecclesiastical Courts decide by rules which are not agreeable with the general law of the land ; in which cases the Court of Queen's Bench will issue writs of prohibition, to restrain further proceedings in those Courts. In cases where money has been borrowed for the purpose sf building New Churches, under the provisions of the Acts 58Geo. 111., c. 45, and 59 Gco. 111., c. 134., the Vestry has not the power of refusing to make a rate for the repayment of the money so borrowed ; and the Court of Queen's Bench will compel the parishioners to make a rate for that purpose. But it has been determined that the Select Vestries attached to such new churches, have not them selves the power of making rates for the repairs of these churches without the consent of the parishioners at a Vestry Meeting legally called for that purpose ; and no rate can be made for the expenses of Divine worship in such new churches. [The suggestions contained in this pamphlet may not apply in some parishes which are governed by local Acts of Parliament.] Liberal Churchmen !—The Church-rate Abolition So ciety calls upon you to evince your respect for the consci entious scruples of your Dissenting fellow-parishioner s , and to relieve your Church from the odium of compelling there to support her fabrics and her worship. Protestant Dissenters !—To you the Society appeals, entreating you to act worthily of the principles you profess as the avowed opponents of compulsory ecclesiastical tax. ation !

At the Freemasons' Tavern last night, nearly four hun dred Noblemen and Gentlemen, extensively connected in breeding, grazing, and other agricultural pursuits, met to celebrate their fortieth annual great meeting in the metro polis. The Right Hon. the Earl Spencer presided. Among the distinguished personages present were the Duke of Richmond, Lord C. Russell, Colonel Sibthorpe, H. C. Handley, Esq., M.P., T. Wratislaw, H. Chamberlain, J. Buckley, S. Grantham Minns, Esq., J. Hellyer (the President of the Northamptonshire Agricultural So ciety), &c. &c. m o nAfter dmedals o the u b andseobserved eds prizesut al hatprelimina ry,distributed,o neof ththe toasts g: necessary had e. ,t been drunk, b eDadu,k3entoafg the en the . rived by the formation of the Smithfield Cattle Club, and other associations which had subsequently been established, was, the opportunity which they gave for the landlords co operating with the tenants and others interested in the better breed of stock, and thereby to revive the honest and in dustrious efforts of the people. These were also the means of tightening the links in society, which at this period, could not be loosened without imminent danger to the whole community?' Mr. HANDLEY, in returning thanks for his "health," referred to the great benefits which had been derived by the community from the exertions of Mr. Professor Cole man, who was present. At their last general meeting he had alluded to the great benefits to be expected by the establishment of the English Agricultural Association, and he sincerely hoped that the Veterinary College, would, by its means, afford as much facility, in medicine and practice, to other animals, as bad already been afforded to the nobler animal, the horse. Earl SPENCER in proposing success to the English Agri cultural Association, stated, that they had, with the assis tance of a numerous and wealthy body, succeeded in form ing that establishment since their last meeting. The ob jects of the Agricultural Society were to increase the pro duce of the soil, so that it would be within the reach of every man by being produced at such a price as could be well afforded by the industrious. Science and chemistry had been applied to our manufactures and commerce, and he had now the satisfaction of stating, that the English Agricultural Association was in such a state of progression that he had every confidence that the result would be highly 1 beneficial to the community. The company separated soon after. GARDENING HE OPRATIONS FOR T W E EEK. (From the Gardener's Gazette.)

(A Pamphlet published by the Church-rate Abolition Society.) The design of this Pamphlet is to give plain suggestions upon the following points : I. Proceedings prior to the Vestry Meeting, at which a Church-rate is to be proposed. 11. Proceedings at the Vestry Meeting ; and 111. Proceedings after the Vestry Meeting. I. PROCEEDINGS PRIOR TO THE VESTRY MEETING. I. Of the Notice. The meeting must be called by the churchwardens, by a notice signed by them, and placed on or near the principal doors of the churches and episcopal chapels in the parish, at least three days before the time appointed for the meeting. This notice must state the specific object for which the meeting is to be held, and no other business but that which is so stated can be transacted. 2. Of Preparatory Proceedings. It is most desirable that Dissenters and liberal Churchmen should, in every parish in which Church rates are usually levied, form themselves into a " Chureb-rate Abolition Society," appointing a treasurer and secretary, and meeting periodically, say once a month, or more frequently when necessary. Such persons should each contribute one penny per week, or such other small sum as may be thought necesary to a fund, to be applied to the purposes of printing, &c., in opposing the imposition of a rate. The suggestions contained in the next para graph will apply to such societies. In parishes in which Church-rate Abolition Societies are not in operation, the shortness of the notice will not allow time for sufficient preparations for opposing a rate, unless suitable measures be taken previously. It will be necessary, therefore, that inquiry should be made to ascertain when it is likely that a vestry will be called, and a meeting should be held about one month before that time, to make arrange ments. This meeting should consist of at least two intelligent and influential persons from each of the Dissenting congrega tions in the parish, together with some liberal Churchmen, who object to the imposition of Church-rates. The object of such preparatory meeting will be to con sider what steps should be adopted to make a legal and an effectual opposition to the levying a Church-rate. The persons present should raise a sum of money to defray the expenses of printing, &c., and should prepare a hand-bill urging parishio ners to attend and vote against the rate, to be printed and circulated as soon as the churchwardens call the vestry meeting. The persons present at this preparatory meet ing should also agree upon t h e p l an b y w hi c h t h e rate should be legally and effectually opposed in vestry. The most convenient way will be by proposing that the con sideration of the question be adjourned for twelve months, and one person should be selected to move, and another to second, such a proposition. In order to prevent any disappointment at the vestry meeting, it will be desirable to appoint two others, in case the attendance of those first selected should, by any circumstances, be pre vented. Endeavours should also be made to excite an in terest individually, and to secure a full attendance at the vestry. And it is very desirable that the opponents of the rate should be early in attendance at the vestry, and secure prominent places, both on and off the platform if there be one, or near to the seat to be occupied by the chairman. 11. PROCEEDINGS AT THE VESTRY MEETING. 1. Of Persons entitled to Vote. All persons who are assessed to the poor-rate, and have paid the last poor-rate that has been demanded of them, and also all persons who have, since the last Poor-rate was made, begun to occupy property liable to be rated, and for which they are willing to be rated, are entitled to be pre sent, and to vote at the Vestry. Those rated to the Poor-rate— Under 5Ol. per annum are entitled to one vote. At or above 501. At or above 75/. At or above 1001. At or above 1251. At or above 150/. 2. Of the Chairman. The rector, vicar, or perpetual curate, is entitled to take he chair. If be should not be present, the meeting may elect whom they please to the chair. The curate of the rector or vicar has not a right to preside, unless elected to the chair by the meeting. The Acts of Parliament which relate to vestry meetings, are 58 Geo. 111., c. 69 ; 59 Geo. 111., c. 85 ; 1 Vic., c. 45. 3. Of the motion for a rate. After the minutes of the last meeting have been read, and signed, the notice for calling the present vestry should be read by the chairman, or the vestry clerk ; and the churchwarden, or someone on his behalf, should then present his accountsfor the past year, which should be read ; and the particulars of which should be carefully noticed, and copied down on paper, in order that it may be seen that none but proper payments have been made. Church-rates can be legally applied only in the repair of the church and the necessary expenses of conducting Divine worship. It has been determined that an organ is not necessary, and the expenses connected with it ought not to be allowed. A Church -rate cannot be made for expenses already incurred, but must be for necessary expenses to be incurred. The churchwarden should then state what sum he will require for such expenses for the ensuing year. One of the persons about to conduct the opposition should desire him to state the items separately, which should be copied down ; because if the rate should be agreed to, it will nevertheless be illegal if improper items are included in it. After a motion has been proposed and seconded, that a rate of a certain sum in the pound be made, the persons agreed upon at the preparatory meeting, should move and second the following amendment :—" That the consideration of making a Church-rate for this parish, be adjourned until this day twelve months." The mover and seconder of this amendment should urge arguments in its support, avoiding, as far as they can, every thing calculated to irritate the ad vocates of Church-rates. It is probable that a discussion will then ensue, in which the opponents of the rate should insist upon the speakers on their side being heard. From a desire to terminate the discussion, or to reconcile the opposing parties, or to get the principle conceded, some parishioner may, perhaps, propose that a rate of a less amount than that moved for should be granted. This should be steadily resisted, and the amendment for adjourn ment be firmly adhered to. 4. Of Voting. The discussion having ended, it will be the duty of the chairman to put the question, and the amendment, for the decision of the meeting. The amendment must be put first, and if that be carried, the motion for a rate cannot be put, because the amendment will then have become the original motion. But if the majority of votes should be against the amendment, or if the chairman should refuse to submit it to the meeting, the votes will be taken on the original motion for a rate. If the majority of votes be in favour of a rate, the opponents of the rate should then demand of the chairman that a poll of the whole parish be taken, that all the parishioners may have an opportunity of expressing their opinions. The chairman is then to fix a suitable time and place for taking the poll. The opponents of the rate should canvass the parish, and use every possible effort to bring up their friends to poll, and two or more of them should attend to see that the votes are properly recorded. 5. Of Objections to the Rate. Although the rate be carried, it will not be valid, in the following cases : (1.) If a proper notice has not been given for the holding of the Vestry Meeting. (2.) If it be granted for any thing besides the repair of the Church, and the necessary expenses of Divine worship. (3.) If it be made to defray expenses already incurred. (4.) If all the parishioners are not rated, or not rated in equal proportions to the value of the property occupied by them. 111. PROCEEDINGS AFTER THE VESTRY MEETING. I. Before the Magistrates. If the rate be granted, the churchwardens may, without any further authority from the Magistrates or the Or dinary, proceed to assess it equally on the parishioners, and they may summon all persons refusing to pay, provided the amount of the rate of such per sons does not exceed IN., before two Justices of the Peace, who have power to order payment with costs ; and if such order be not obeyed, one of such Justices may issue his warrant for distraining the amount on the goods of the party, who from conscientious or other mo tives may refuse to pay.* If there be a substantial ob jection to the validity of the rate, the party summoned should attend the Justices, and state that he objects to pay, because the rate is illegal, and he should mention the grounds upon which he considers it to be so. The Justices will not then have the power to make an order for the payment of it, but the churchwar dens must sue the party in the Ecclesiastical Court, • The practice of the Society of Friends in submitting to have their goods distrained for Church -rates, is becoming very prevalent among Protestant Dissenters generally; and will perhaps operat e more powerfully than any other means in abolishing Ch urc h -rates; especially if publicity be given to the circumstance of the distraints having been made. IN REPLY TO AN ADDRESS ON THEIR BEHALF, BY PER SONS STYLING THEMSELVE S " THE PRECURSORS." FELLOW COUNTILYMEN,—The object of the Radical Address to you, signed on behalf of a hundred and thirty six Associations, was to show you, notwithstanding O'Con nell's assertions to the contrary, that there were men among us as cordially d:sposcd to unite with you to render you, " justice," as there were others resolved to unite to keep you in the reins of Whiggery for their own especial advan tage, careless of the beggary and wretchedness of the mil lions. And we also in thus addressing you are no less anxious to secure your co-operation towards effecting one of the greatest objects men can perform on earth to be ac ceptable to heaven—that of improving those institutions which, according to their purity or corruption, render a nation enlightened, prosperous, and happy, or ignorant, poor, and degraded. It would appear, however, from the persons who style themselves " the Precursors," and who have taken upon themselves to write for all Ireland, that what ever hopes or sentiments animate the great bulk of your countrymen, there are persons among you who do not desire union with men whose objects are " jus tice for all classes." And if we could bring ourselves to believe that these persons represented the national mind of Ireland, and that that mind was so steeped in the opiate of Whiggery, as to lay its thoughts and feelings prostrate before one man (though that man's talents were as tran scendent as their gratitude hasbeen unbounded), we should rather be disposed to despair for her fate than entertain bright hopes of her regeneration. The document we refer to is an echo of the 'Whig press of England—what it fails to answer it does not scruple to pervert—it taunts us with wanting candour, and accuses of falsehood, and yet in itself is made up of the very essen tials it condemns. It is, however, what it was intended to be, a Whig apple of discord, not only to prevent union between the English and Irish Radicals, but, if possible, to divide those already united. It begins by upbraiding us for not having denounced certain individuals for their expres sions of violence. In reply to which we beg to inform you that our great object has been to honestly pursue principles rather than to denounce men ; we have left abuse to those who are better masters of the arr. And even were we so disposed, we could not except that great reprover of his age, Mr. O'Connell himself, who when denouncing others for impropriety of language, talks of petitioning with " a mil lion and a half of men of fighting age." From the origin of our Association we have ever dig.. countenanced violence—we have ever declared that the moral power of the people would be the most effective weapon to combat the enemies of freedom, and similar opinions were expressed in the address we sent you. Yet, for all these declarations, our character has been belied and our motives impugned, because individuals have been found to attend our meetings who, like Mr. O'Connell, have ap pealed to the passions rather than to the intellect of men. No man has made stronger appeals to the lower feelings of an assembly, than the Chairman of the Precursors ; his " bloody and brutal" sentiments, his pre-eminently abusive expressions, and fighting threats, have been more loudly applauded by his select audiences than have similar expres sions been by the poor weavers of the North. No persons can more sincerely regret than we do the improprieties of language and threats of violence persons professing the sacred name of Reformers have recently indulged in—they have only afforded delight 1 to the enemy, and engendered doubts and recrimina tions among friends. We are of opinion that what ever is gained in England by force, by force must be sustained, but whatever springs from knowledge and justice will sustain itself. Therefore it is that in our aspirations of freedom we seek to build up her sacred temple in peace —to raise up a social and political edifice founded on national e n li g h tenment and justice —a temple in which all classes might freely worship, without tax, tribute, or reproach, in which all might unite to devise wisely and execute justly, and where the energies of all should be di rected to the solving that great political problem, yet un solved by any nation—how shall all the resources of our country, mentally, morally, and physically, be made to pro duce the greatest happiness for all its members ? We confess that our imaginations sicken at any prospect of civil discord, even if oppressors only were to be the victims, and therefore earnestly trust that the edifice we are seeking to rear may never be established upon a foundation of blood, to be cursed by widowed mothers and undermined by the fatherless. But we must confess we greatly doubt the sincerity of those who, while deprecating violence, are continually boasting of the physical force of " eight millions," and threatening that " Ireland alone would afford sufficient force to crush a revolution in England," and that they are " as ready to go to battle as any people in the world." But We are wisely informed by the Precursors that the words " Universal Suffrage" have no " magic" in them ; we thank them for the information ; but inasmuch as they are words used by all honest Radicals to express the extent of the Suffrage they desire—defined also these words have been to mean the right of voting to all males above 21, of sane mind untainted by crime—we think it more honest and straightforward, for all, (especially those who have SWO7 n and pledged themselves to Universal Suffrage) to retain the well-understood term rather than to adopt the less in. genuous Whig phrase of " the greatest ossle extension of the Suffrage that can practically be obtained" The ex tent of the Suffrage which can " practically be obtained" will depend on the honesty and perseverance of Reformers. If they shall ever be induced to give up any portion of their principles to secure any unworthy object or fraudu lent position, to gain power, place, or patronage, they will most certainly be induced to make still further sacrifice of principle, to retain what they have gained ; and thus from their position, principle after principle must be abandoned, till those who began as practical Reformers turn out practical apostates. Perm s wishing to im pose upon the public words without definite meaning, as well as those who are not disposed to adopt Radical prin ciples, may have some excuse in coining language to ex press their desires ; but surely the Chairman, at least, o f the Precursors has not this excuse, for setting aside his public avowals of having been sworn to Universal Suffrage, we have his sig dging himself nature a tt ac h e d t o a resoluti on o f hi s own proposing, pledging , ‘to s upp o rt an d vote for a Bill to be brought into the House of Commons, embodying the principles of Universal Suffrage, equal representation, free selection of representatives without reference to pro perty, the Ballot, and short Parliaments of fixed duration;" nay, Bill, more,a and d e the Bill o il n l e th of at e th n e la C na o keep him ; we shall demand his support "jus tice" we mean to . that was the PEOPLE'S CHARTER. To that great bond of and d vote for it in the forthcoming session, agreeably to the 1 fr e he has given, and the part he has taken —his differing r p "r"o e rn - its details will not be taken as an excuse, but will rather be attibuted to his neglect of duty. It would appear that the gentlemen of the Precursors perms • t in adopting th e same unmanly policy towards us as the Whig and Tory press. Finding they could not justly oppose our principles, nor answer our arguments ; finding that our public appeals in favour of temperance, knowledge, social improvement, and political right, were bringing around our standard good men of all classes, creeds, and opinions, they have endeavoured to enlist public opinion against us by identifying us with the sentiments and opinions of others. " The Oastlers, Stephenses, and O'Connors" are charged as b e i ng " our l eaders, " notwithstanding we have
